I should note, that the text of the book doesn't translate
the pub's name, so yes, "the Vulcan Laughs" is probably
better. The two dimensional sign over the pub door shows
"a monstrously fat Vulcan clutching two Orion slave women
to his folds of flesh.", BTW.
And, the text also notes, regarding the barkeep's greeting:
"Starn considered for a moment that in this setting the
standard Klingon greeting actually made sense."
